    Addresses the weakest spot on the OL and allows them to focus on other areas with early picks.

    The last L. Tomlinson signing worked out for the short term...

    Going to be very interesting to see how he translates to the right side. Either way this is a great signing, I just preferred Daniels.

    I’m sure Saleh knowing him helps and fills a need. Good stuff.

    so much investment in the guard position now with Vera-Tucker & Tomlinson ($13+ million)

    Like this signing a lot. Knows the system and coaches. Solid veteran addressing the weakest part of the OL.

    I'm a big fan of DJ Chark. I think he would be a nice fit here.

    I like this a lot. We can now draft an OG in the mid rounds for the future. Is that mean LTV is gone. I hope for sure Van Rotten

    Becton/Fant - AVT - McGovern - Tomlinson - Becton/Fant

    If Becton is playing like rookie Becton, this could be an elite line. Nobody so bad it drags the whole ship down like the Jets have had in the past.

    I would assume this takes the Jets out of the running for an OL at 4. Unless they really have no faith in Becton.

    Love this signing. wanted him since the beginning of the offseason. JD is doing right with the o-line.

    it's now becton, AVT, mcgovern, tomlinson, fant. I don't see a whole there and all 5 are capable of being top 10 players at their position.

    Looks like a good deal for us.

    We still have lots of holes.

    I'd like to add, I still think we need to go with Ekwanu at 4. Lets shore this thing up for Zach so he can focus more on his receivers.
